This is an old argument I had on the Kindle forums. I want a cover browser instead of a flat file system. It's one of the things I love so much about my Nook Color.
Yeh, if you know exactly what book you're look for, it's much easier to do a search and have the name pop up in seconds. But... I like to browse my e-collections the same way I browse the shelves and tables in a bookstore. I'm very visual and can pick out a book by a fragment of color and a glimpse of the font.
So to the OP -- I understand exactly what you want. Calibre is amazing software, and I consider it as important as my OS, browser, and word processor. But in answer to your original question: No, Calibre doesn't have a thumbnail window view. Neat idea and lots faster for browsing than the beautifully implemented cover-flow view already in Calibre.
